13 week scan

I had my 12 week scan and was measuring 13
Weeks 1 day. The tech went down near the legs and me and my husband saw 3 lines - I’m convinced
Baby is a girl. Two nub techs have said 98% girl and the nub is very straight. Am I out for my boy ? Is there any hope? Photo attached! I didn’t ask the tech and she didn’t say anything

No you’re not out!!! I was really convinced I was having a girl after my 14 weeks scan and sent it to the nub experts and all that. They said girl. Nope! All boy on the 20 w ultrasound!!!

The theory is just that my tech and dr said after I confessed what I did- it’s just a theory! Get your NIPT or wait for 20 week!

Well, you can go look at The Final Countdown's gender guess from some online people like this, they were WRONG, guessed girl and she's having a boy.

I can't really see these pics very good. Can you send me them at atomicsagebrush@gmail.com??

And what do you mean "went down near the legs?" Is that a potty shot, you thought you saw? Potty shots are not reliable at this stage of gestation and so you can't tell from that angle at this gestation.

There were the photos I send off for nub . No didn’t do a
Potty shot it was going down near the legs
For leg measurements and just could see 3
Lines between the legs and nothing that would
Resemble a boy. I’m
Measuring 13 w 1 day but I know as I tracked and only bd on two days I can only be 12 w 5 days at the most as used protection before that. I’m
Praying but setting myself up for disappointment

If you were looking up from the bottom during a measurement of leg length, that is NOT reliable. Both boys and girls look like girls from the bottom at this stage of gestation. You can only tell from the nub shot at this time of pregnancy, so don't worry about what you think you saw. My stepfather thought he saw girl parts on an ultrasound, and then when my brother was born, he blurted out to the entire delivery room "that kid's got balls!" (and he was a registered nurse!)

As for these pictures, the top one is useless for guessing. The lower one is quite blurry too as if the baby was in motion. I agree that the nub is rather flat, but I have seen nubs on much higher quality pictures than this one still rising into the 13th week. I've even seen a few very clear pictures I guessed girl on at the end of the 13th week that were boys. I don't say this to offer up any false hope, but just because it's not clear to me this baby's gender. I would guess 55% girl, 45% boy.

Her scan picture was even less clear than this, and what the "gender experts" were guessing on was not the nub (she will verify that I told her that at the time.) Yours IS the nub, and it is a bit on the flat side like I said, but the baby was likely moving around and there's still some time for it to rise. I do hope you get to see the pics, but I think this is two different sets of circumstances.

Thanks for your reply. I kept seeing 3 lines when the baby was on the side so it was a side view what could this be ? The tech kept saying the baby was moving a lot and was hard to do some pictures and measurements she kept commenting on active the baby was so I’m praying! I know from when I conceived the baby would only be 12w 4 or 12w5 as before this we used protection so think the baby is measuring bigger- would this change the accuracy of the nub theory eg more chance to rise as it wasn’t as far gone as maybe the measurements said ?

I’m holding on to hope but my gut is girl xx

[Boysway2022]

I can’t see nub in your picture!you can in mine I was wondering if it was the nub it appears it definitely is the nub!

[Thefinalcountdown]

I would definitely get an NIPT if you can to put your mind at ease!!! I know the feeling. It was mentally ready good for me though. Made my faith in God’s plan stronger. But it was hard to come to terms bc I was SURE it was a girl.

I feel like I’m getting a bit obsessed and I said I wouldn’t be like this ! I think its because I tHooght I saw girl stuff on the scan and the nub to me looks such a clear girl! I didn’t go to the 12 week scan thinking I’d see anything but they had a screen right next to us and I’m so sure it’s a girl. I’m uk based they so early gender scans at 15/16 weeks so I may have to do this as I can’t cope 😂I think I’d be better once I know for sure. I just can’t decide what the 3
Lines were the legs they were big as well and it was from a side view ! They were 3 Straight lines constantly inbetween the legs when she went down to measure the legs! It was side view and also I think from the top (not potty shot )

[atomic sagebrush]

What you saw could have been the arm bone. I have on many occasions seen ultrasounds where people were convinced they had a flat nub but it was on the baby's side and it was the arm bone. I can't know for sure what you saw, but that's just something I've seen people get tricked by. It just depends on what the tech was focused on.

Yes, if you're earlier on, then it would make it more possible for the nub to rise. But again I've seen nubs rise even at the end of the 13th week on pictures far clearer than this one.

Like I said, it is flat but it's far from a done deal at this stage. Definitely guard your heart but don't despair or mourn because you're not out yet.

[Boysway2022]

Thanks so much! The screen was next me and she kept going down near the legs and saying the baby is really active- it was at this point me and my husband saw some lines but the lines were really big and away from the body so I don’t know ? Thanks for your insight I feel like I’m driving myself mad �� also is the nub on my picture the fork type thing ?

[LMSM]

Golly, I can't believe they guessed based on your pics - the baby is moving in those so it's all so blurry! Hoping for you that you get clarity soon, one way or another - and FX that it is a boy in there for you ;)

TFC - they guessed girl (or any gender for that matter) on that pic??? that is ludicrous!!! There is no nub on there at all...what people will do to "sell" their "expertise... so glad they were wrong ^^

[Boysway2022]

The tech said the baby was in really difficult positions to get readings because moving so much! I’ve felt this baby move since 11 weeks which seems
Bonkers to me but she confirmed at the scan when I said I felt it that it was where baby was kicking 😂 I wish I just asked the tech now nkt obviously the main point of 12 weeks can is about the health of the baby and so thankful everything seems fine thag was my priority of course ! Then I’m now obsessing over a scan haha is the fork type thing the nub? That’s what I think!

[LMSM]

I remember feeling dd1 10 years ago - and it felt like bubbles popping/ butterflies and sure enough it got stronger - and correlated with babys movement :) it started at barely 10 weeks with her … not all women feel things that early so it’s not common knowledge I guess !

Yes I think the nub is the fork like lines - I’ve underlined in purple .. but because bub is moving it’d be hard to know bubs actual position relative to spine etc ( if baby is a bit twisted as they move) so you’re not out :)
